    Karlsruhe (Germany) & Savannakhet (Lao P.D.R.)

    Erasmus+ Key Action 171 Mobility Project between the University of Education Karlsruhe and Savannakhet University (budget 62.470,00 Euro): After our first two mobility projects, "Bi-directional Teaching and Learning" (2018-2021) and "Education for Sustainable Development and Global Citizenship" (2021-2023), we now embark on "Digital Citizenship and Bi-directional Decoloniality" for 3 years (2023-2026).

    DAAD "Get Ready for Global Teaching!" at PH Karlsruhe (2025-2029)

    8:00 - 18:00Karlsruhe (Germany)

    With the new Get Ready for Global Teaching! project at PH Karlsruhe, we institutionalize and expand our international collaborations. With our partners in Ghana, Israel, Cameroon, Lao P.D.R., Norway, the UK and the USA, we will focus on global inequality, colonial thought patterns, and post-migrant societies. Through direct exchange, future teachers will further develop their cultural and linguistic awareness, reflect on key issues and challenges of our time from a global perspective, and design educational processes in diversity- and discrimination-sensitive ways.
